Derek Smart Interview

HomeLAN - What do you see are the big events and trends that will affect the video/PC game industry in 2005?

Derek Smart - Someone will break into Valve again and steal the pre-production work for HL3. That should buy Gabe and his band of merryman - oh - another six years or so. VUG will go belly up or be bought out by Eidos. Eidos will be bought out by a conglomerate that specializes in laundry detergent. EA will settle a class action lawsuit by promising to give all the elves it has working in its basements, an hour off each year. The Phantom console will live up to its name; since we'll never see it.
